Are You Asking God the Wrong Question?

It’s not been my most productive week. I haven’t felt well so I’m mostly going through the motions. I’m showing up where expected, but I don’t have much to show for the time spent. I can feel guilty pretty fast over that because I’m sort of driven.

The dictionary defines driven: Motivated by or having a compulsive quality or need.

I admit that I tend to measure my success and even my worth by how much I produce and how happy I’m making the people I’m producing for (craving approval is another story for later this month).

I’m my harshest critic. I should be more productive, I should be working harder, I should take a shower….

That familiar thief, comparison, is poised to snatch away my joy. I find myself discouraged over nothing in particular and everything in general. I’m frustrated over my inability to get things done even as I take careful note of all that everyone else is accomplishing (thanks, social media).

And then this afternoon some guy I’ve never heard of pops up on my radar and I decide to listen to him.

He talks about walking into every day, into every meeting, into every circumstance as a child of God.

Oh Lorraine, how I know all of this all too well! I tucked this quote away in my journal a few months back: “It’s not about what I am trying to accomplish but what God’s trying to accomplish in me.” Blessings on you as you rest in His leading and I do hope you are feeling better soon!! ♥

Love this Lorraine! Thank you so much for the reminder, “My primary identity is God’s daughter.” In this social media age we live in it is often hard to be content with “everyday life” and it’s good to remember that as God’s children we are royalty! Love you, lady!
